The Sunreef 80 Eco has been honoured as the Best Electric Sailboat in the Gussies Electric Boat Awards 2022. The Gussies were established to recognise inventors, designers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who are making daily progress in developing clean, quiet, zero-emission technologies and designs. Their mission is to reduce the marine industry’s reliance on fossil fuels for propulsion and encourage innovative solutions for a more sustainable future on the water.
With her ultralight composite-integrated solar panels built seamlessly into the hull sides, mast, superstructure, and bimini roof, the Sunreef 80 Eco stands as a pioneer in the world of green yachting. This design allows her to maximise solar energy capture without compromising on elegance or performance.
The yacht is equipped with advanced electric engines and a state-of-the-art hydro-generation system, enabling her to produce renewable energy while under sail. This means she can not only travel in complete silence but also replenish her power reserves during a voyage. Her smart energy management system works in harmony with custom-engineered batteries to store and distribute power efficiently. An innovative air conditioning system, designed to be highly energy-efficient, further enhances the comfort of life on board without compromising her zero-emission credentials.
The Sunreef 80 Eco delivers one of the smoothest and most responsible e-motoring experiences available today. By combining cutting-edge renewable technologies with the highest levels of luxury and comfort, she offers a truly sustainable approach to long-distance cruising. This recognition from the Gussies Electric Boat Awards 2022 highlights Sunreef Yachts’ ongoing commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship in the luxury yacht sector.
